Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of micro-electromechanical packaging, in particular to a microphone structure of a MEMS capacitor pressure chip seal. Background Art

[0002] The MEMS capacitor pressure chip is an important device for controlling the operation of the electronic atomizer. The MEMS capacitor pressure chip consists of an electrode plate and a diaphragm with a gap between them. When the user takes a puff, the suction side of the diaphragm is in a negative pressure state, forming a pressure difference with the other side of the diaphragm. The change in air pressure will cause the diaphragm to deform, causing the capacitance value between the electrode plate and the diaphragm to change, which is converted into an electrical signal output to control the atomizer to atomize.

[0003] In electronic atomizers, it is usually necessary to encapsulate the MEMS capacitor pressure chip, ASIC chip, and other capacitor and resistor devices in a specific structure to realize the signal conversion control function and isolate and protect the MEMS chip from external influences.

[0004] There are usually two types of electronic atomizer microphone structures that use MEMS capacitive pressure chips:

[0005] 1) First package the MEMS chip and ASIC chip, place them on the same PCB board, buckle the metal shell, then seal the sensor module and other components such as capacitors, resistors, and LEDs on the atomizer microphone PCB board, and buckle the metal shell again;

[0006] 2) The MEMS capacitor pressure chip and the plastic-sealed ASIC chip and other electronic components that have been packaged are sealed together on the atomizer microphone PCB board and covered with a metal shell.

[0007] Both of the above technical solutions require two packaging processes: first, the MEMS chip and ASIC chip are packaged once, and then the electronic atomizer microphone is packaged twice. The process is complicated, the cost is increased, and it will have an adverse effect on the MEMS chip itself. Specifically, the disadvantages of two packaging include the following three points:

[0008] 1. The capacitor pressure chip undergoes two high-temperature eutectic welding processes. The stress mismatch caused by high temperature will cause the sensitivity of the capacitor pressure chip to change or even fail. The static electricity during the eutectic welding process will also cause the diaphragm of the capacitor pressure chip to be attracted, making the chip unable to work normally.

[0009] Second, the two-step lamination process will increase the chance of microphone leakage, resulting in reduced sensitivity or even failure of the microphone;

[0010] 3. Two-time packaging increases costs and process difficulty and reduces packaging efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0011] The utility model aims to provide a microphone structure for sealing a MEMS capacitor pressure chip, so as to solve the problems of high packaging cost and low yield rate caused by the secondary packaging process of the microphone structure.

[0012] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a MEMS capacitive pressure chip sealed microphone head structure, comprising:

[0013] A PCB board having a first through hole disposed thereon;

[0014] A MEMS pressure sensor chip is fixedly mounted on the PCB, and the back cavity of the MEMS pressure sensor chip is aligned with the first through hole;

[0015] An ASIC chip is arranged on one side of the MEMS pressure sensor chip, and the ASIC chip is connected to the MEMS pressure sensor chip through leads;

[0017] Components, which are fixedly mounted on the PCB;

[0018] A second shell body, which covers and includes the first shell body, and a second vent hole is provided on the second shell body;

[0019] The oil-proof and breathable membrane is arranged on the surface of the second shell body, and the oil-proof and breathable membrane closes the second vent hole.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The MEMS pressure sensor chip is bonded to the PCB board.

[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0023] The diameter of the second ventilation hole is greater than the diameter of the first ventilation hole.

[0024] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0025] The oil-proof and breathable membrane is bonded to the surface of the second shell.

[0026] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0027] A soldering pad is provided on the back of the PCB board.

[0028] A MEMS capacitive pressure chip sealed microphone structure, the packaging process includes the following steps:

[0029] S1. Pad production: prepare the PCB board and lead out several pads on the back of the PCB board;

[0030] S2, punching: punching a hole on the PCB board to form a first through hole;

[0031] S3, MEMS pressure sensor chip arrangement: fix the MEMS pressure sensor chip at the first through hole position on the front side of the PCB board so that the back cavity of the MEMS pressure sensor chip is aligned with the first through hole;

[0032] S4. ASIC chip layout: The ASIC chip is fixedly mounted on the PCB board, the ASIC chip is arranged on one side of the MEMS pressure sensor chip, and the ASIC chip is connected to the MEMS pressure sensor chip through leads;

[0033] S5. Installing the first housing: fixing the first housing on the PCB, the first housing covering the ASIC chip and the MEMS pressure sensor chip, and providing a first vent hole on the first housing, wherein the first vent hole and the first through hole are staggered;

[0034] S6. Fixing components: attaching components to the outer area of ​​the first housing on the front side of the PCB board according to the preset modulation circuit position;

[0035] S7, installing the second housing: fixing the second housing on the PCB, the second housing covering the first housing, and the second housing being provided with a second vent hole;

[0036] S8, finished product: an oil-proof breathable film is attached to the surface of the second shell, and the oil-proof breathable film closes the second vent hole.

[0037] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0038] 1. In the utility model, the high-temperature welding process in the packaging process is reduced, thereby reducing the adverse effects of the capacitor pressure chip sensitivity change and electrostatic attraction caused by high-temperature welding, and improving the packaging yield.
